I am trying to delelte file as

How did you load the image?

Thanks jmcilhinney

frmerrorpicture.pict_Error.Image = Image.FromFile(sc.tempFile & ".jpeg")

[jmcilhinney]

From the MSDN help topic for the Image.FromFile method:

The file remains locked until the Image is disposed.

In .NET 2.0 call the Load method of the PictureBox, which doesn't lock the file.
